Corporate Investigation Services

CIS has been one of the best places that I have had the pleasure of working at. No day is alike, and while we work hard, we have fun while we are doing it. 

The work is enjoyable and interesting, and there has been a lot of room for growth during my time here. 

There are also lots of perks that the company provides such as a large lunchroom that includes a pool table, Xbox, cupboard with free food (for if you forget or don't bring a snack or lunch) and popcorn maker (among other stuff), staff incentives, awesome holiday parties (including decorating the office for holidays and dressing up for Halloween), random pizza or catering events, and the company is involved in the community (environmental challenges, participating in London Clean & Green, raising and donating money for the local animal shelter, etc.). The social committee is very active, and not a month goes by that they aren’t planning something for the employees. 

Management celebrates birthdays and anniversaries, and fosters a supportive, communicative, and caring environment. They also believe in work-life balance, which is something needed and appreciated. Staff are also encouraged to decorate their desks and dress for their day – individual personalities are encouraged and celebrated. They cultivate an environment of positivity, teamwork, and inclusion. They also have really great apparel (they let you pick the colour you want), and it’s fun to see everyone wearing their CIS clothing!   


I'm moving on to a full time job but keeping my foot in the security field.  
Have worked for similar companies and comparatively, these guys are a cut above the rest.   

Given the nature of the work being Strike Management and some Investigations (the background stuff, I don't know much about) they have a very good reputation with strong supervision who actually do respond and take care of problems and my first choice.   

The work life balance sucks but that goes with the unpredictable type of work.  The big thing for me is that they seem to take the time to screen their folk and hire some good ones.  I haven't worked along side a lot of crazies unlike some other firms who hire anybody.  

Hours are long and unpredictable as are the shifts but when you're working they pay ok.

Worked a Labour dispute at Lafarge in Bath, Ontario. They intentionally cause issues with those on strike to prolong the strike.i quit after I refused to do this. They would intentionally try to get striking workers to lash out in violence. Strongly advise if you have any integrity, ethics and morals avoid this company like the plague. I also suggest all employers looking to hire them to avoid at all cost, they will only cost you more money in the long run, with court costs and other things.

The job was fantastic as long as  you were willing to be gone for 2 months and home for a few weeks then gone for 2 more months and the economy can support a striking union  once the economy crashed so did my job  so work life balance is relative to if you have a family and are willing to sacrifice the time with them 

co-workers were a great crew

hardest part of the job was  the 12 hourr shift hours away from the job site making for 14 or 15hour days living in a hotel  for 2months basically just working eating sleepin that was your life for 2 months at a time all done in a shared room of a hotel swithcing off with your roommate at the jobsite

I have worked for CIS for almost two years, and I can confidently say I feel valued, appreciated, supported, and I've been given opportunity for advancement several times throughout my tenure. I come to work every day knowing the expectations of my role and feel comfortable asking my superiors questions at any point in time. The workplace culture is positive, warm, and I have learned so much since I first started. I would absolutely recommend CIS with complete transparency.  

CIS is a very cool place to work and my co workers are great, a laid back awesome atmosphere at work. Get to speak with great people all day long in my job, I've been here almost 4 years now and have never looked back. I just love it. Free lunches every couple weeks and lots of extras- people really care here. If your not a good fit and don't know how to work hard- you wont last. 

I really liked working here for the most part. Management listens to concerns and cares about their people, you can tell. That’s super rare. Only downside is the pay could be a little better considering the sensitivity of the info you are handling in this job and the expectations for speed/workload. Also any phone job can be stressful at times. Would 100% work here again if the compensation was just a bit higher.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Great staff, great pay. Everything is positive.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
There is not any stress. Working nights can be a challenge.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Everyone is very positive. Each day is different.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Wake up at 1630hr. Be ready for 1715hr. We shuttle to work.

I really like working with the team. It can be challenging to meet commitments - I suspect that is the nature within the industry. 
Maintaining a balance during a strike is the hardest part of the job.
Able to work on my own without any micro-management.  

A decent place to work for a short time. 
Very casual / easygoing feel in the office. The hours were ideal, early mornings but finishing at 3pm created a great work / life balance. Low pay, with little room for advancement and management tends to pick favourites. 
Would not recommend for a long term position but is a good place to get started.
